Thanks for the great info, Rainer.

I will look into it.

I shouldn’t mix them right? I shouldn’t use one or two seagate drives along with ultrastars.

did I get it right?

Hi Rainer,

Thanks for the response.

You are right. I have never noticed that. I thought I had bought the right ones.
my problem is that These Ultrastars are really hard to find in istanbul.
Would it be healthy if I use similar drive like WD or Toshiba ?
What do you suggest?

cheers

Thanks for the tip, Bob.

I will do that and let you know what happened.

Now the time consuming process starts that I really wanted to avoid.

Have a good one.

Hi Bob,
Thanks for the reply.

Here is what happened;
I have decided to upgrade the flash version from October 2014 version to december version.
I have also upgraded the configure tool app to the latest one. When I checked my raid group, it is RAID6,
I saw #5 drive was degraded. So I replaced it with the new drive and it started auto rebuilding. (AUTO REBUILD CHECKED) And when the rebuilding was about %80 other drive (#7) gave me the FAULTED sign.
When the #5 drive rebuild was done, after reboot , I replaced #7 drive with another harddrive.
But this time the replaced drive did not start rebuilding automatically. It gives me unavailable sign and
When I select the drive individually, it does not give the chance of rebuilding. And its status got stuck on REPLACED.
I have checked everywhere on the Internet and I couldn’t find what REPLACED means.

I had two of drives had been degraded before. with Auto Rebuild was checked, I had replaced them and it’s been working with no problem until now.
Should I build a new group and initialize everything?
The drive I replaced with #7 could be the degraded one that I used before, that I don’t remember. Could it be the problem.?

Thanks

hi Bob

I have r680 with stardom ST8. one of my drives is faulted.
ı have replaced it while working but the drive did not start rebuilding. it says ”replaced” under usage tab.
the hard drive (no7) got faulted when another degraded drive has been rebuilding.

do you know a way that I can start the Unavailable drive(7) rebuilding?

thanks
